Virtual Study Hall

It would give the a little space to breathe a minute, and sit with friends. It would take away some of their stress, to sit and talk with some of their friends. Instead of the alternative of sitting there worried over how much time you have, and trying to choke down your food to finish it. Sometimes not even getting to say a word to anyone. Kids already stress enough over their work, and out of school activities, or things happening a home. So why do they need anymore stress? Stress causes kids to do bad academically, because it wears them down, making it hard for them to do their best. Kids might even get a little time to do some of their work at lunch, if given even a little bit of extra time. If you have forgotten an assignment, and you don't have study hall or panther time you're out of luck. Unless you do it at lunch, but with how much time were given now, that would mean giving up eating.

Have you ever felt stressed about homework? Or have you ever wanted to just come home and relax? This is why the Burris Laboratory School should provide an in-school study hall during school. having study halls during the school day would help improve grades and understanding of subjects. By providing a study hall, there shouldn’t be any excuses for students to not doing their assignments. Not only will having a study hall increase grades, but will allow the students to fill their nights with some event or activity that the student likes doing.

First and foremost, they are fewer days to attend. In other words kids would have to come to school less. For Example Bill’s school is on this ,and bill can do a lot of his make-up work. Because he gots a three day weekend ,and besides the more hours we have to go. This is a really good idea for kids and teachers because teachers

I know with certainty a lot of students used their study hall effectively, and properly. Remaining mostly quiet and consistently doing our homework, or studying for a test we have, or reading silently, our study halls were used efficiently. Teachers have said on multiple occasions: “You don’t use your study halls properly,” or “You guys don’t do what you’re told to during study hall,” that’s not true though they aren’t there they don’t know what we do, and that’s our work. That time is valuable to us why would we abuse it? Students do work on homework at home but they only have so much free time, but if you have four of five tests and quizzes the next day would you want to cram the days before and miss out on sleep because you have other work to do too, or would you rather have a study hall and get some of the other work you have out of the way, and study at home?

Many students do not have enough time due to the countless hours doing excessive school work. Students have assignments that can and

Dear School Board, eliminating summer and shortening breaks would not help the us in any way. Lengthening the time we're in school would put a substantial amount of stress on us. We wouldn't have time to find a summer job either.

If the school board extended the school the day by one and a half hours, there would be many conflicts which schedules. Since students are at school more often, family interaction will decrease. Students will be busy completing assignments, and trying to prepare for the next day instead of spending time with their families. This will cause family relationships to grow weaker and weaker each day. An extended day would also affect sporting events between different school districts. While other school districts are released and hour and a half earlier, we would be released an hour and a half late. This would delay the start time of sporting events. The students who play sports would not arrive home until it was dark. The

I have spent countless hours in my room studying for the “STAAR” test, doing homework, and writing essays all in one sitting. Maintaining a constant, sensible, schedule is nearly impossible as students have so much on their plates. Some are trying to be well-rounded students, but it is hard because of all the things they must accomplish. They have to make sure they are getting enough sleep the night before an early morning practice which probably did not happen because they were up all night studying for an exam worth half of their grade and they got off work late so they did not get home at a decent hour to begin

It has been scientifically proven that students (especially teenagers) do not get enough sleep. If students were to get at least an extra hour of sleep in the morning, they would not be as tired and could

Studies show students who don’t get enough sleep, often suffer mental and physical dis-orders (aap.org). Students are expected to be fully awake and participating in all their classes. If a student spends all night studying and goes to sleep late, they have a hard time functioning in the morning. On average a teenager gets six to seven hours of sleep a night (sleepfoundation.org). If we were to delay classes, students would be able to sleep longer and thus be more productive.

There are a ton of reasons study hall needs to be extended, but a major one is, that students need to have more time to spend working on homework. Similarly to what was stated in the introduction, some students have after-school activities and/or sports that take up a lot of time after school. These students need extra time during the school day so they can

The traditional schedule would be a lot harder on the student because you wouldn 't have as much one on one time with the teacher. Also students in extracurricular activities it would be hard to balance a sport, homework, friends and enough sleep. An average school day is usually 7 hours starting at 8am and ending at 3pm, then if your in sports your practice starts at 3:30pm and goes to 6:30pm. Afterwards you have to shower and eat and that could take up to 2 hours so now it 's 8:30 with 7 classes worth of homework. So you could be up to 12 or 1 am studying and doing homework but if you have 4 classes you would have more time to get class work done beforehand.

All in all a reduction to the time taken off in the summer can help students. Doing so will add more breaks throughout the year . This can help take away some stress by giving the students more free time. Also will help the students remember more of what has been taught to them . Would you like to be free more

With the current traditional schedule, most students, including me, stay up late to do homework after they attend all afterschool activities. In addition, students get booked with homework for at most and usually four classes daily. This results in students cramming late at night to finish all their assignments, be able to participate in extracurricular activities, and get enough rest for the next school day. However, considering the work periods that block scheduling offers, students could be able to finish most of their work without any problems. This could result in less stress, more success, and better grades for

First, it would reduce the stress in the lives of many students. They will not have to worry about trying to finish their homework for the next day, or worry about an upcoming test or quiz the next day at school. Long term assignments would lift a weight off of the students shoulders. They would be more relaxed, and would be able to focus more during school. The teachers would be able to teach more, and students would comprehend more of what they are saying. Stress occurs in the lives of so many students throughout their school career, and it is a disadvantage to them.
